Lost mythologies intermingle with the legends of large cities. Alongside a tangible enthusiasm for the historical and anecdotal on Berlin\u2018s streets and the facades of its buildings, the fragile, sun drenched beauty of Havana also comes through in his formal compositions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fabio La Fauci<\/strong>\u2018s work, often inspired by Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, oscillating between abstract geometry and organic reality, escapes conventional attempts of artistic classification.<\/p>\n<p>Through fragmentation, juxtaposition and collage, <strong>Arny Schmit<\/strong> multiplies the reading modes and digs the strata of the image. The beauty of his women contrasts with their loneliness and sadness, the enticing colors are soiled with spurts, the shapes are torn to reveal the underlying, the reverse side of the coin, the unknown, the duality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominik Schmitt<\/strong>\u2018s artworks comprise paintings and drawings, but also video art. He manifests his anatomical introspections in a both morbid and ironic way on canvas and thereby addresses subjectivity as well as questions about art and its conception. Despite all modernity Schmitt makes formal use of elements of the Renaissance and Christian iconography.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201eStrange Matter\u201c Fabio La Fauci, Juan Miguel Pozo, Arny Schmit&nbsp;and Dominik Schmitt&nbsp; April 27th&nbsp;\u2013 July 7th&nbsp;2018 | opening reception:&nbsp;April 26th&nbsp;2018, 5-8 pm press release -Strange Matter- &nbsp; Born in Cuba and currently residing in Berlin, the painter Juan Miguel Pozo pursuits a pictorial narrative in his work that distinctly rejects the discursive, instead seeking the &#8230; <a title=\"exhibitions 2018 | \u201eStrange Matter\u201c\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/?page_id=10873\" aria-label=\"Read more about exhibitions 2018 | \u201eStrange Matter\u201c\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10873","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10873"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10873\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13856,"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10873\/revisions\/13856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janinebeangallery.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
